So please allow me to share some exciting news with you: Whole Foods (Northeast Division) has just picked up my Planet Barbecue Grilling Butters.

If you think a grilled New York strip is good, just wait until you taste it topped with black truffle butter as seen above. Or a veal chop with White Truffle Butter, grilled salmon with Meyer Lemon Herb Butter, or grilled corn with BBQ butter.

Steven's grilling butters are now available online from our friends at Earthy Delights (www.earthy.com). Just in time for barbecue season, these butters will add lush flavor and richness to anything you grill.

Steven’s grilling butters are now available online from our friends at Earthy Delights (www.earthy.com). Just in time for barbecue season, these butters will add lush flavor and richness to anything you grill. He developed the butters with his longtime friends Amy and Thierry Farges, founders of Aux Delice des Bois, which specializes in French charcuterie and truffles.

The butters come in four unique flavors. The Meyer lemon and herb butter goes great with vegetables and seafood; the truffle butters (both white and black) are fantastic with grilled beef, veal, and chicken, as well as smoke-roasted potatoes and other vegetables; and the smoky barbecue butter, flavored with Steven’s favorite barbecue rub, is compatible with nearly everything that comes off the grill.
For the next week, we’ll post recipes daily featuring the grilling butters on Steven’s Facebook page (Steven Raichlen, Author).

Planet Barbecue Grilling Butters–one great way to serve them is on grilled bread.

To most Americans, lobster means homaris americanus. But here in Miami, the crustacean of choice is the spiny lobster. The spiny lobster lacks the large claws of the Maine lobster, but the tail is larger and meatier.

Here’s how they do lobster in Mexico–with a butter Worcestershire glaze and a garlicky mojo de ajo. Below is the recipe for that garlic sauce, and it goes great not just with lobster, but with nearly any kind of grilled seafood. The complete recipe is in my newest book, Planet Barbecue.
